We've had some nice feedback and bug reports after the v1.0 release!
This new "minor" update (actually, it's pretty big) addresses most reported issues, add new things, and improves others.

  • Setting to choose the update rate of the FPS and emulation speed indicators
  • New no-settings CLI argument (in order not to load or save them)
  • Ability to force-redistribute the panes by double-clicking on their borders
  • FP and OP stacks viewer/editor (new pane), assuming normal OS execution
  • Message types and colors support in the console pane

  • GetStringInput var ('$') support in the variables pane
  • Button to toggle the ASCII side of the memory view
  • Support for transferring bundle files (.b83/.b84)
  • Added more icons everywhere
  • Full screen modes (F11 key)

GUI improvements

  • Better layouting behaviour of some panes regarding resizing and extra space/margin
  • Use a more appropriate location for the FPS indicator (bottom right of the status bar)

  • Improved OS keypad scanning hardware-like accuracy
